(NEWSER) – Authorities hope newly released video—along with a $65,000 reward—might lead to an arrest in a 5-year-old bombing case from Times Square, reports NBC New York. The stitched-together surveillance footage shows a lone bicyclist riding through New York City in the early morning hours of March 6, 2008, before arriving at a military recruiting center. Cops think he got off his Ross bike (later found in a dumpster), lit a fuse on a homemade device, and rode off. The resulting blast didn't injure anyone, but it rattled nerves.
